MAN BY MAN

WES FODERINGHAM 6

Back-up keeper’s barely played this season and must have felt little has changed as he had almost nothing to do against a toothless Celtic side.

JAMES TAVERNIER 7

Killer delivery was too hot to handle as the skipper got Gers off to a flier within just two minutes. Tireless running reflected Gers’ high tempo.

CONNOR GOLDSON 7

Gobbled up the hopeful long balls Celtic resorted to in an attempt to counter Gers’ effective high press. He’ll never enjoy an easier derby.

NIKOLA KATIC 7

Showed more signs of a young man growing into his role after a stopstart debut season at Ibrox. Barely troubled by Odsonne Edouard.

JON FLANAGAN 6

Lucky only to be booked for forearm smash on Brown but that risky moment of indiscipline was the only blot on a comfortable display.

RYAN JACK 7

Energy of his performance in the engine room reflected the tempo of Rangers’ high press that squeezed the life out of Celtic.

GLEN KAMARA 8

Composure and skill amid the frantic midfield battle summed up by the way he created Gers’ second goal for Arfield. Touch of class.

STEVEN DAVIS 7

Wily campaigner is another to thrive in Steven Gerrard’s new system and went about his work efficiently. Important cog in the wheel.

SCOTT ARFIELD 9

Impressive in the advanced roving role supporting Defoe with clever runs and touches. Deserved goal for a superb man of the match display.

RYAN KENT 8

Constant menace driving at Celtic. Provided a vital link between the midfield and Defoe and only missing the goal his performance merited.

JERMAIN DEFOE 6

Could have been booked for penalty attempt but led the line with the intelligence of an experienced big-game player. Subbed for Morelos.
